Session 20 - Follow-up to degrees and proficiency awards (KIVA)

What are you curious about?
What was the answer to project versus program?

• A project is a singular project (research project, animal, etc.), and a program is the complete package of taking the projects that students complete and make it a more comprehensive SAE.

New assignment/changed assignment?

• Look for an email describing where to find the information on the changed assignment.

More on AET?

• Coming next week!

Could requiring an SAE make a student not want to take Ag?

• Yes, and that is o.k. If a student loves soccer, but doesn't want to be on defense at times, then they don't play/join, because even if you are a striker you better be willing to be part of the entire program/game.

How many PA ag. teachers complete SAE visits?

• The ones that understand how it helps a student develop make the time to do this important aspect of the program.

Will I be able to find all of the degrees on the FFA page?

• You should be able to do this, but it not, please feel free to talk with classmates and/or the instructors!

How do students process starting a new SAE?

• You as the advisor need to work with the student to find out their interests and abilities at that point in their education. You then work with them to develop beyond that point, using the SAE program.

What did you learn?

SAE and record keeping are critical to teach in my classes

KIVA

Kolb's model, again

What do you want to learn more about?

Can I use my students' interest to shape my curriculum?

• I believe that you can definitely do this. You will also use other factors in determining the curriculum (community needs, career and college readiness, approved program status with the state/type of program, etc.). You will learn a lot more about this in AEE 413.

AET

• Stay tuned! See you on Tuesday :-)

How many FFA students are active in sports?

• I was a three sport letterman... little known fact :-)
• I also heard at National FFA convention that a school in Missouri had to postpone their championship football game, because too many of the football team members were at National FFA Convention!!

How to incorporate others into helping with SAE's.

• Find experts in  your community and ask them to help. One point of clarification... these folks would be serving as volunteers for your school district; thus, they would need their proper clearances/fingerprints checked prior to working with the students. Be sure to work with administration on the proper procedures for your district!
